The Switch CD alone is awesome but this added bonus " The making of Switch" just makes it so much more special. This is an intimate view of the relationship that has formed between INXS founding members and their new lead singer, Jason Fortune.
The "Rockstar" facade is stripped away to reveal a story of five musicians that just want to do what they were destined to do,"make great music". This is about their search for a new member (not a replacement) to be the voice of their music. They have ultimately found that person in Jason Fortune, who shares their vision and wants to be part of this band. As the seventh member of this band, Jason is able to be a creative addition to this band while maintaining a respect for the legacy of Michael Hutchence.
INXS shares their personal feelings about some of the songs off the album. Tim, Kirk, Garry, Andrew, Jon, and Jason each put their heart into this album and it really comes through on the CD, especially through such songs as Afterglow, God's Top Ten, and Remember Who's Your Man.
I hope any long-time fans that may still have doubts about INXS's decision, buy this dual disk, watch the dvd and be a part of "INXS's journey".
JD does a very good job in some very large shoes to fill. I wish there were more videos - only one for Vegas and a behind the scenes look at the making of it.
GOOD JOB INXS! Arguably one of the best replacements of a Lead Singer from a popular '80s band since Sammy Hagar with Van Halen. As well as the title of this Album (C.D.) SWITCH, very appropriate!
